										Science News has an exploration of the <a href="http://www.sciencenews.org/view/generic/id/60568/title/Neutrino_experiments_sow_seeds_of_possible_revolution_">deeper implications of neutrino oscillation</a>, one experimental confirmation of which we <a href="//science.slashdot.org/story/10/05/31/2053220/Chameleon-Like-Behavior-of-Neutrino-Confirmed">discussed last month</a>. <i>"The new findings could even signal a tiny breakdown of Einstein's theory of special relativity... MINOS [for Main Injector Neutrino Oscillation Search] found that during a 735-kilometer journey from Fermilab to the Soudan Underground Laboratory in Minnesota, about 37 percent of muon antineutrinos disappeared &mdash; presumably morphing into one of the other neutrino types &mdash; compared with just 19 percent of muon neutrinos... That difference in transformation rates suggests a difference in mass between antineutrinos and neutrinos... With the amount of data collected so far, there's a 5 percent probability that the two types of particles weigh the same."</i></div>

Sen. Bond's bill would create a new position in the Pentagon, reporting directly to the President, in charge of coordinating all civilian cybersecurity. Any private-sector involvement would be voluntary and free from legal challenge, rather than mandated."</i></div>

										In a decision that was reversed as soon as someone with half-a-brain in their PR department learned about it, <a href="http://cbs13.com/local/marine.widow.verizon.2.1772409.html">Verizon charged a widow a $350 early termination fee</a>. After the death of her marine husband, Michaela Brummund decided to move back to her home town to be with her family. Verizon doesn't offer any coverage in the small town so Michaela tried to cancel her contract, only to be hit with an early termination fee. From the article: "'I called them to cancel.  I told them the situation with my husband.  I even said I would provide a death certificate,' Michaela said.  Despite the circumstances, Verizon is imposing a $350 early termination fee."</div>

										kcurtis sent the news that <a href="http://piratbyran.org/">Piratbry&#229;n</a>, the lobbying organization out of which The Pirate Bay sprang, <a href="http://torrentfreak.com/pirate-bays-founding-group-piratbyran-disbands-100623/">has disbanded</a>. (The torrent tracker is alive and well.) <i>"Piratbyr&#229;n had many purposes, but could be described as a pro-piracy lobbying organization. It was founded in response to Antipiratbyr&#229;n, the local anti-piracy outfit in Sweden. The goal was to start a debate on copyright issues and how they affect society. Until then, most press in Sweden would simply take everything Antipiratbyr&#229;n said for granted. Internationally, Piratbyr&#229;n is mostly known for launching The Pirate Bay in the fall of 2003, just a few months after the group itself was founded. ... The final decision to disband the group came after Ibi Kopimi Botani, a prominent member and co-founder of the group, passed away. Without one of its greatest minds, the group would never be the same again, Piratbyr&#229;n's member felt."</i></div>

From <a href="http://news.xinhuanet.com/english2010/china/2010-06/26/c_13370505.htm">the announcement of the new regulation</a>: 'Soldiers cannot open blogs on the Internet no matter (whether) he or she does it in the capacity of a soldier or not. The Internet is complicated and we should guard against online traps.' While the official word seems to not be translated to English yet, the same apparently goes for websites or homepages owned by soldiers; there is no indication as to whether or not this applies to sites like Facebook or Renren (<a href="//tech.slashdot.org/story/09/08/05/1244251/US-Marine-Corps-Bans-Social-Networking-Sites">which the USMC bans</a>). Similarly, as of 2007, the US requires <a href="//yro.slashdot.org/story/07/05/02/1352258/Soldiers-Cant-Blog-Without-Approval">active duty soldiers to clear any posting with a superior officer</a>, and Israel had to <a href="http://homelandsecuritynewswire.com/israeli-military-cancel-operation-after-facebook-disclosure">cancel an operation due to a Facebook status update</a>. A <a href="http://www.milblogging.com/index.php?entry=entry100627-062830">military blog aggregating site</a> claims only a few Chinese military blogs indexed, but it looks like as of June 15 that list may have shortened."</i></div>

										PoissonPilote writes <i>"I'm currently developing a multi-player, browser-based game, using the good old HTML, JavaScript, PHP &amp; MySQL combination. Progress is good so far, and the number of players is slowly but steadily increasing. At the beginning of the project, I decided to put the entirety of my game under the MIT license, so that anyone could study the code or even start their own server for the game. However, with the increasing popularity of my project, I am starting to worry about security issues. Even though I consider myself decent at web development and am pretty sure I'm not making any classic mistakes (SQL injection, cross-site scripting, URL forgery, etc.), I am no web security expert. I didn't find any relevant examples to compare my game to, as most open source games are written in a compiled language, and no web server is at stake in those cases. Some web developer friends told me not to release the source code at all; others told me to release it only when the game will be shut down. Naturally, I'm not satisfied by either of these solutions. What approach would you recommend?"</i></div>

										An anonymous reader tips news that ICANN has <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2010/jun/25/internet-pornography-companies-xxx-domain">officially approved the creation of a .xxx suffix for porn sites</a>, confirming the rumors we discussed <a href="http://tech.slashdot.org/story/10/06/24/206209/ICANN-Likely-Finally-To-Approve-xxx-For-Porn-Sites">on Thursday</a>. While this resolves a 10-year debate on the subject, the Guardian notes that "many pornography companies are unhappy with the idea of a dedicated space online because they expect that as soon as .xxx is implemented, conservative members of the US Congress will lobby to make any sex-related website re-register there and remove itself from other domains such as .com or .org." Others are more confident, like Stuart Lawley of ICM Registry, the company sponsoring the new TLD. "Mr. Lawley said <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/26/technology/26domain.html?src=busln">more than 100,000 domains had preregistered</a>. He said he expected that when the dot-xxx domains opened for business, nine to 12 months from now, some 500,000 domains would register, or roughly 10 percent of the five million to six million adult online sites."</div>

										eldavojohn writes <i>"This week MIT released a comprehensive, <a href="http://web.mit.edu/mitei/research/studies/naturalgas.html">hundred-page report</a> entitled 'The Future of Natural Gas' that outlined the many scenarios <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/cwire/2010/06/25/25climatewire-mit-researchers-see-natural-gas-as-the-choic-68486.html?pagewanted=all">the United States faces when aiming to reduce carbon emissions</a>.  From the NY Times recap: 'The scenario goes like this, according to MIT: Nuclear power, renewable energy and carbon capture and sequestration are relatively expensive next to gas. Conventional coal is no longer a major source of power generation in the United States. "Natural gas is the substantial winner in the electric sector: The substitution effect, mainly gas generation for coal generation, outweighs the demand reduction effect."'  Will this urging help to produce a policy shift from <a href="http://www.25x25.org/index.php?option=com_content&amp;task=view&amp;id=310&amp;Itemid=56">renewable energy</a> (like <a href="http://tech.slashdot.org/story/10/06/17/1616228/US-Dept-of-Energy-Wants-Bigger-Wind-Energy-Ideas">wind</a>) to natural gas for the United States?"</i></div>

										Robadob sends word that <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment_and_arts/10414215.stm">the BBC has been granted approval for Project Canvas</a>, "a partnership between the BBC, ITV, BT, Five, Channel 4, and TalkTalk to develop a so-called Internet Protocol Television standard."  The approval <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2010/jun/25/project-canvas-bbc-trust">came with several interesting requirements</a>: "Project Canvas must always remain free-to-air but users 'may be charged for additional pay services that third parties might choose to provide via the Canvas platform, for example video on demand services, as well as the broadband subscription fees.' Access to Project Canvas must not be 'bundled with other products or services' and 'listing on the electronic program guide will be awarded in a fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory manner." In addition, a preliminary draft of the tech specs for the project must be published within 20 working days, in order to allow broadcasters and manufacturers of set-top boxes to adopt the new standards. Significantly, "Other broadcasters and content providers must have access to the platform."</div>
